Title troubles in Florida

[MB30Roadster]

Tried to title my 30 Roadster and was told by the Florida DMV that they would not accept a Bill of Sale. According to them the car had to be titled by the seller and then transferred to me or I had to get a judge to issue a declaration of judgement releasing the car to me. This is the first time I have ever been told that a bill of sale was not acceptable. Anyone else ever had this experience? Hate to spend untold dollars on legal action....anyone want to buy a Roadster!
